Some fertility highlights:
. A dramatic decline in sperm counts over the past 50 years in many countries.Please remember, too, that even if one DOES manage to get pregnant, all these things that affect fertility/cause cancer can also affect the fetus,
• Significant increases in testicular cancer.
• Infertility is thought to affect 15-20% of couples in industrialized countries compared to 7-8%
in the early 1960s.
• Girls are reaching puberty at a disturbingly early age in many parts of the world.
• The incidence of endometriosis in women has become alarmingly high in some countries.
